Just thought I'd post quickly. I'm the chair for the professional development team at our high school. It's been a rough job and probably the responsibility that I like least. Last month, the meeting was awful. Teachers are frustrated at how the school is moving and I felt like I was getting blamed for it...the whole "shoot the messenger thing". Well, today went better. Teachers are coming around and realizing I'm not to blame. They are beginning to see that I'm just continuing a plan that was started 5 years ago...way before I was hired on. Anyhow, work is feeling a little bit better and now all I have to do is tackle a big paper that I've been putting off revising.
The best thing...I've now posted two days in a row. I knew I had some resolve and stick-to-it-ness in me.
As for family, it's nice to have Ben back. He was in Oregon for the weekend picking up a jointer for his shop. Oliver is very excited to have his dad back, though he asked if he could have a new dad without a beard while Ben was gone. He changed his mind quickly though and said he liked the beard because it made his dad more "bear-like". Who doesn't want a dad who is more bear like? They built cardboard houses and painted gourd birdhouses yesterday while I was at work. Oliver also asked if he could have a brother and sister. Without skipping a beat, he said, "If I get a brother and sister, our family will be five rather than three people. Can we name them brussel sprout and green bean?" I'm in awe of his math skills because the kid really can do simple math functions (at age 4), and not so in awe of his name choices. We'll be waiting on the kids until he can be rational in this...:)

what the heck is a jointer? painting gourds--man sounds festive. whats wrong with brussels sprouts and green beans? although it sounds like theyre both boy names to me. im always surprised by jonas when he spurts out his beginning math.
